I'm sorry to say to folks east of the Mississippi, brace yourself for a torrid, yet tropical week's worth of these kinds of days.
'The Big Sleep', 'Rear Window' and 'After The Rains' have been good distractions ( 'Nanook of the North' is still ready if needed). For tunes, we've been listening to Orchestra Baobab's 'Pirate's Choice', Harold Budd's 'Luxa', Tuu, Burnt Sugar's 'Night In Tunisia, Sort Of', Sam Cooke's 'Porgy and Bess' and Michael Hurley's 'Ancestral Swamp' - and of course, Martin Denny and Yma Sumac . . . as was once sung "don't fight it, you've got to feel it ... feel it". And from the Dead, the Dark Star > Spanish Jam > U.S. Blues from Miami 6-23-74, and several selections from the summer of '76 with those slow, languid versions that seem well paced to fit current energy levels. Those slow, early blues tunes from '66 and '67 also work well.
After all, six months from now - it is our fate - we'll be looking at a few feet of snow and temps well below zero - without any wind chill, therefore I keep telling myself 'be here now' . . . and be cool, fellow forumites - this, too, shall pass.

Though I'll admit, it is difficult to function in this 24/7 sweat lodge / sauna - like atmosphere. Truly, lazy days of summer. Good luck with helping your mom cope.
